Sen. Corey Booker (D-NJ) endorsed former US Vice President Joe Biden for president on Monday, writing on Twitter that Biden would "restore honor to the Oval Office." Booker, who suspended his campaign for president in January, threw his support behind Biden a day after another former candidate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), endorsed the former vice president.
